GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Predators completed their 10-night, five-game, three time-zone road trip Thursday at Gila River Arena with a 2-1 loss against the Coyotes — their third in a row.

The Predators finished 2-2-1 on the trip and hobbled home riddled with injuries to key players like P.K. Subban, who was put on injured reserve with an upper body injury, and Viktor Arvidsson, who will miss six to eight weeks with a broken thumb.

Predators forward Ryan Hartman left the game late in the second period after he took an illegal check to the head from the Coyotes' Josh Archibald. Hartman took a while to get up, and was spitting blood when he did. Archibald was given a two minute minor penalty.

Hartman returned to the bench during the third period.

Michael Grabner put the Coyotes ahead 1-0 with a shorthanded goal in the first, the Coyotes' 10th of the season.

Nick Bonino scored his first goal of the season at 12:09 of the third, cutting the Predators' deficit to one.

The Predators fell to 13-5-1.

Big number: 8-for-74. Predators on the power play after going 0-for-5 Thursday.

Big number II: 45. Shots on goal for the Predators.

He's back: Forward Austin Watson returned after missing the first 18 games of the season while serving a suspension for misdemeanor domestic assault.

Rostermoves: Defenseman Dan Hamhuis was activated from injured reserve and Calle Jarnkrok returned after missing three games.

Quotable: "It’s a blow. He’s a guy that is an engine for our team. He does a lot of good things and plays in a lot of situations. ... It is an opportunity for somebody to step up." — Coach Peter Laviolette, on losing Arvidsson
